Using ControlUp Edge DX to capture memory dumps after BSOD

Using Edge DX to capture memory dumps after BSOD.

One of our super smart engineers was talking to a customer who had a manual process for capturing memory dumps after a BSOD. The engineer proposed that they automate it using Edge DX by creating an alert on event ID 41 (blue screen, which we collect) this triggers an action to copy MEMORY.DMP on the PC to a file server. The action then sends an email to support a new memory dump is on its way! They loved it as it will save them a lot of time and they are less likely to miss BSOD’s.

Super simple to implement and a really cool use case for Edge DX.

Will this be published in the Scripts Library?

we never see BSOD, asking for a friend 😉@member I think Brian’s question was for you. 🙂

That said I do want to do a step-by-step blog on setting this up as it is pretty simple to do.Actually it’s for @member

Thanks for the correction Joel!

How much of that activity is in the script, though? From the description, it looks as though the script is limited to copying a MEMORY.DMP to a file share. The cleverness is the whole workflow, of which the script is just one interlocking part.

correct. the script just copies the file. being able to alert on 41 and copy the file is obvious, but clever.
